The sculpture was cast at the Gliwice Technical Equipment Plant (Gliwickie Zakłady Urządzeń Technicznych S.A.).

The special design of steel bars embedded inside it makes it very strong, as, in the wind, the sword can deviate from its position by up to 15 cm.

In the early 1990s, in connection with the restoration project north of the Theatre Square, it was necessary to move the monument to a new location.

Marian Konieczny imagined Nike soaring into the clouds, and planned to place the monument on a very high 20-meter pedestal.

Since the monument was to be erected on the slope of an embankment made of rubble, it was necessary to create a deep foundation.
